I have 2 kids already and was induced with both. My first I was dilated 1 cm for over a month and never progressed until induction. My second I was "fingertip" right before induction (39 weeks) so it depends on you and baby. I am currently 37 weeks and have not been checked at all yet so Im hoping when I go to the dr wed, they will tell me Im dilated and hopefully it progresses faster than the others. Sorry I wasnt any help either but good luck and hopefully you'll have your baby soon :)

I didn't personally dilate early on but I know a few woman that have and stayed that way for weeks and others who went in a few days to deliever.
Once I lost the mucus plug, I delievered within 3 days.
Sorry that I wasn't more help. Good luck with delievery!

Unfortunately, you can stay at half a centimeter the rest of your pregnancy. I was dilated with my first baby 1 centimeter at 35 weeks and never advanced. My second baby I was never dilated at any of my checkups and ended up having her on my own at 38 weeks and 3 days. Again the same with my third. Not much dilation and then I had her on my own at exactly 38 weeks.
